I've bought a couple of straps from Pavel before and been impressed with the quality. I also remember seeing a thread on here where he restored a Panerai strap for someone (that I thought was only fit for the bin when I saw the 'before' photos). So when I received a Brietling strap that was in good condition but with tatty keepers I asked him if he could replace them with a couple of nice leather ones.
He replied that he could and, as a previous customer, he generously offered to do them free of charge.
The strap came back today and is just what I was looking for.
I'm not sure if this is a 'hero' topic or a leather, rubber and nylon one so I'll copy it into both. Then I'll bung a bit in the FR.
Cheers Pav!
